Well said!

My notes from the video: Set constraints so you have less resources than you need to get it done. How do you achieve your goals while setting constraints? How do you have a $3m, $5m, $10, or $40m a year business while working, say 5 hours a day. And know what you would do with the rest of your time - to have a fulfilled life. *It's hard to sustain success while sacrificing happiness.* (Love this quote) Constraints make you better!

I’ve literally been spending the last two weeks trying to figure out how to create more time to work being a working mom trying to build a company. Realizing now that I need to lean into the constraint, not try to eliminate it. Appreciate you so much!

heck yeah Melanie!!! you have got this

I watched that video where you talked that you’re 29 but people think you’re 40. You have the wisdom of a 40 year old businesswoman and are a visionary. I want to have a woman like you in my life who’s intelligent and trustworthy who can do the hard work and sacrifices to make it to the top. But unfortunately there are less people like that. Any suggestions on finding that right partner who understands you and who joins your journey to success. ❤

You become that exact person yourself and then you'll attract a quality partner.

We all have the same 6 basic human needs (Tony Robbins). Uncertainty (variety, excitement, unpredictability). Certainty (routine, trust, dependability). Significance. Connection/love. Growth. Contribution. I don't think anyone is immune (except maybe sociopaths)

Hey Leila babe, arguably though, you and alex both laser focussed so much to generate this multi-million dollar business in those 2 years. so the sacrifice was worth it and now you can take your foot off the accelerator. Maybe had you not worked so hard in those 2 years, things may not have happened the way you wanted it to be? I'm really keen to learn how what you and alex did to get the business from $0 to $100,000 and then $100,000 to $1mil and so on? I own an ecomm business, but still interested to learn from your success. thanks and many kisses from singapore xx

Great video concept, I call it "the principle of limitation". It's the opposite of the resource curse. Marines are given 25% fewer resources than the Navy so they're more resourceful and resilient.

Really made me think about balance - it can be difficult to think in this way when we are surrounded by 24/7 'hustle' culture - many thanks for the thoughts Leila

I just want to say that as a 24 year old female baby entrepreneur, I find you super inspiring! xx My biz niche is about combining language learning with food. I'm just worried about managing such a slim profit margin biz which will be heavily dependent on high quantity of sales to keep it operational. Currently figuring out branding + content strategy (+ setting up a corner of my mum's kitchen as a cute food photography studio :D) Do you know anyone in the food space that I can learn from/connect with? You're a gem, keep doing what you're doing and I hope you're able to find the right businesses for your portfolio goals :) xx

@@TS-xn7ix Thank you, I appreciate your input on this!! If you're curious about an update on the financials, I've decided to go extreme and turn it into a social enterprise (donating 50% of profit) and use that "good will" mission to help increase the price and profit margin. Also, I'm finding that this is also helping to attract potential partnership opportunities (only a few initial conversations so far) - this means I can increase my capacity to deliver a combined "product + service" package offering with higher value overall for the customers (and partners), again, reason for higher price and profit margin for us. In addition, I've diversified the types of products and service offerings along with the prices: e.g. a "standard" product for "repeat purchase" aka the crisps, a "premium + personalised" "one-time purchase" product + service offering delivered with partners hopefully through pre-sale. And finally, releasing a "monthly unique new product" in limited quantities available to purchase for £50 only for that single month - probably another pre-sale option? Maybe even allow the last 50 people to "bid it out" if there is a lot of demand for this unique monthly offering where 100% of the proceeds will be donated? As you can see, I've learned a lot about pricing + finances + cash flow in the last 3 months :D

Great video, appreciate you sharing your thought on goal setting

Amazing stuff. These guys are just beasts in sharing value. Don't stop. This is what we need.

Your channel is packed with great value. Greetings from a new subscriber

Balance is key to life! Great instant video. You picked a perfect moment to make this video. Glad you chose to film these thoughts!

I just found your channel and so needed to hear this! I'm wearing all the hats in my business right now. I'm chronically ill and neurodivergent which makes it so I crash and burn out if I don't balance things right. I literally don't have enough hours in the day to take care of my health and grow my business at the same time so I feel like I'm failing at both. I'm taking my time listening to all your videos while I work on filling custom orders right now. I'm so thankful to have found this channel.

Great insight. Thanks!

A wise man once said.."what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?" This video reminded of that. Thx

Wow! You and your husband bring so much actual concrete value and not the fluffy and empty stuff! Also major kudos to you and your husband for sticking together through all the thick and thin!

Love this! I am so curious what yours and Alex's day in the life looks like when you're managing so many businesses :)

That’s a good concept, thanks for sharing.

I LOVE this. Reminds me of Tim Ferris' framework of doing less to achieve more.

Thank you! Watching this as I just left my desk working my side job to cuddle my kids back to bed. It’s fucking hard to balance it all and applying constraints to business to have less constraints personally makes perfect sense. Appreciate everything you share. You’ve really helped my make some tough but necessary decisions.

Thank you so much for this video Leila! You are such an inspiration…knowing that you (such a badass, goal oriented, strong female) also need time for herself/personal life, not always hustle…is inspiring for me.

Thank you!

Great video !

Ooooof, I felt you were talking to me. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. It's so fresh that it's revitalizing. What you're talking is probably about Parkinson's law. From today on, I'll heed on that advice. Not that I was miserable, but, man, I would blast myself several 10-12+ hours "working" during the day.

Very good! I love that :) thanks for sharing

The way you worded it in the last 30 seconds finally made it click for me. I said "ohhh shit I get it now" outloud 😂 thank you!

Incredible video, Leila. Really good.

I really liked this informal video. I’d love to see more.

This is wisdom, Leila! Your life experience taught you so much wisdom about this. This is my goal. To set these kinds of constraints so I can be happy while being successful in business. I love your content! You and Alex have the best business content! 🔥

So true Leila! It makes the game much more fun and generates more positive energy!

Wow that last minute was so impactful 🙏🏻

Thank you Leila for being transparent and honest with inner demons vs the greed to be successful and disrupt your own belief and challenge yourself. This is what I am going through and I am seeing the marriage and the kids suffer because of the so-called success route that I am taking. Now taking in all these insights, I need to sit down and ask the tough questions and just move quickly and do more in smaller chunks and with a timer and restraints, while accepting the imperfection and not going to that procrastination route. Truly a fan and appreciate what you are doing for all the entrepreneurs out there at a high-level openness. Thank you

Love it thank you!

Hey Leila. first of all, thanks for your content. I love this advice, but I wonder, every person that made it financially after hustling non-stop for a long period of time gives this advice, make time for your family and friends, make time for you to breathe and your levels of productivity will increase + you'll enjoy the journey. but I always hear this advice in hindsight. I wonder if you wouldn't make it yet, you would come to the same conclusion (maybe yes). hence, maybe we all (entrepreneurs) do have to go through this phase to fully embrace this perspective + to reach at least some of our goals faster.

This is a very valuable reminder that I get to have a fulfilled life before the $100M arrives.

I needed to hear this.

Great video

Reducing my major stressors and excess things taking my attention. Got it :)

Great topic and interesting to look at both sides ! One thing we’re taught from mentors is to identify WHAT we’re willing to sacrifice for success. Most people (probably not your audience) want a fast food success path. So we need to understand FIRST: the tremendous amount of work, effort, energy, and sacrifice it’ll take. Execute for a good while like a crazy beast. It’s earning your shot. But then and Only then can we earn the right to add healthy constraints and add fulfillment, leisure, relaxation etc back into the mix. Takes a cycle to understand the balance and need to not succeed to death. You rock Boss Lady!

Quick question: is it a good idea to put constraints while strating out ?

Good point Leila, sounds like Parkinson's Law

Life or fun debt ! Feeling this right now and booked 4 week holiday/business overseas. Im exactly in this rigid flexibility cunundrum after breaking an 11 yr cycle of work obsesion. Reminder that fulfilment and success can happen. TY

This was EPIC! Power of constraints ✅

I've never thought of using constraints to your advantage like this. I think I will apply this law to so I don't burn out.

You’re my favorite influencer, ima watch all you stuff. Hmu in 10 months.. I’m 25 now in college

That's a lie. First, you didn't sacrifice your relationship with each other. And second, you had each other to begin with. That's a lot more than many people have in this world.

This is making me really think about what positive constraints I could put in place to force myself to be more effective. Do you think you and Alex could’ve achieved the same rate of growth with Gym Launch if you had this mindset from the beginning?

Interesting insights, Leila. As someone who is in AI and wants to get into entrepreneurship I would like to ask you: Would you say that sacrificing everything for the first two years was necessary to help you take off the business or in hindsight you both could have done it while having a more balanced lifestyle?

Brilliant

“How do you achieve your goals while setting constraints?”

brah i thought Alex was the guru. this is so intense for me. its like im not breathing while i listen. u guys are great. thanks for doing it. it was funny how i though after first 10 vids. of alex i thought wife must be some girly support wify. this is a monster wife - in a good way i mean

3:50 freedom and flexibility in life

I did 6 years 80 hours almost a week and hated myself by year 4. It was fun as you had a dream and by the time it is over you can't connect with normal people.

Lol find a log take a seat let the background noises relax your mind.

I'm always super doubtful when people claim 100mil dollar company

I mean im at the beginning of my journey so should I apply this into my life ? Because I think that I should just step foot on the gas and after I will achieve something than I can add something to life other than work.

My exact dilemma atm

omfg. Love your videos. Talk about superwoman!

The same thing is happening to me. I must change this belief.

Sacrifice money was always there you just had money management problems. You had money to start with. 😘

It's good but it remains a theoretical model.

You are an amazing entrepreneur but listening to you makes me exhausted. I feel like the play back speed is on 2.5, and I don’t equate the same attributions to success. Can we call it fair that some of us are wired different?
